Had Surgery on 12-18-09 and I can't Believe....



Recommended Posts

OMG I had surgery this month on 12-18-09 and have lost 40 pounds. I 'm so happy I have always been than overweight kid and I just want to live normally and not let this weight hold me back. I know I have a long way to go and I still do crave those fatty foods but getting on that scale makes it so much worth not eating them. I get my first fill on 01/18/10 come on all lets push thru to a happier healthier life.

Love You All.

Jon:rolleyes:

Congrats!!

I know you don't mean 40 pounds since getting the band 12 days ago. Remember, the band is not losing the weight. YOU are working hard and the band is just there to help a little.

Keep it up!!

Thanks for the support all everything is still going well on my end. I have my first fill on Monday the 18th. Having the band is a real change my doctor put a lil Fluid in my band when I had the surgery and what I use to be able to eat I no longer can. You know I really don't miss it. I join the gym at my job and I work out now 5 times a week. I will keep you all posted on everything that's going on I will be weighing in again on the 18th again also. Good Luck on your journey.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
